Save yOurself, Tiger!


'Just 1411 left. Yes just one thousand four hundred and eleven left. Isn't it shocking? Yes, it is!' If you have no clue what I am talking about, you probably are not the one killing tigers around :)

Well, since so many less tigers are left (in comparison to India's large population, or population of stray dogs we have here or number of runs Sachin has scored, 1411 is a terribly small number, a tiny-tiny fraction!) So what should we do? If we agree Aircel's new campaign, we should speak about it, blog about it and sms about it. Here, I am doing my part!

I assume that the monsters who kill tigers can't be persuaded by blogs, so why not teach tigers how to protect themselves? Precaution is the best medicine ;) So I would like to convey my message to each of the remaining tigers. 'Save yourself, tiger! You might be a furious creature in woods, but have you invented guns? or have you developed some sense of tricks or greed or material lust? No... Did I hear no? here is the news... we have, and we have done it long time back. So here is the situation, we are on a killing spree. Go save yourself..'

'Here is the list of items that you should take care of:
1. Never be alone. Even if you are going for hunting, take at least one of your family members with you. What? You don't like your family, not a problem. Ask your friends on Facebook, and you will probably get one or two mates with you.

2. When you are travelling, always follow the advice a typical Indian mom gives to her child, 'Beta... Don't accept food from strangers?', no wonder we humans are far more in numbers than you.

3. Never, ever... I would repeat, Never ever watch typical Saas-bahu drama on TV. Tigers! I assure you, that's killing. And please save yourself from these reality shows, and no more movie watching on TV since they repeat every freaking movie zillions number of times. Apparently if you strike down these three options, you would probably left with news channels. They are even more dangerous, so better away from television set.

4. Play Farmville on Facebook! That's real saver I would say. Think like this, you will be safely seated in your cave playing Farmville, hunting down others cattle, saving them from sending me requests to play these nonsense games. It's actually mutually beneficial. :P

5. Try to cover yourself with pink. I have a hunch that these hunters are gay! Always portrayed in tight shiny skinny leather jackets pretending to be extra macho! Who knows next time you run into a hunter and end-up saving your life with some extra fun ;) you know what I mean!!!

6. Always charge your iPhone before you leave for hunting. I know its battery life sucks so everytime, yes I repeat every time before you leave, make it a habit to recharge your iPhone. And as soon as you see a hunter around, dial 911. (It's little ironical that I am advising Indian tigers to dial US emergency number, but isn't it true that every time we are in deep sh*t we look for extra helping hands!)

7. And last but not the least, google 'Indian tiger + Aircel' and read more. Since Aircel is spending a lot on the campaign (hiring Dhoni, Surya and others is not a cheap affair. When it comes to brand endorsing, these guys are real tigers here), I am damn sure, concerned people like me have already started blogging about your safety. So go fishing tigers!

Finally I would reiterate my concern over your safety. So go save yourself, tiger!'

Since I have done my part, I would like Aircel to appreciate my concern and send me the 'save our tiger' campaign's goodies. I seriously want that t-shirt.
